Summary
Iraq and Turkey just sealed a one-year deal to pump 750,000 barrels of Iraqi oil daily through a pipeline to Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, marking a major step toward diversifying Iraq’s export routes away from vulnerable Persian Gulf shipping lanes. The agreement, signed after Prime Minister visits to Ankara, aims to stabilize Iraq’s critical oil revenues — which fund most of the government’s budget — while laying groundwork for a broader long-term partnership covering energy, electricity, and water. Though the pipeline has faced past disruptions due to disputes, it’s now back in limited operation, and both nations are eyeing an even bigger project linking southern Iraq to Turkey and Syria.
